China further pushes 'San Coal' consumption cut

China has continued its efforts in cutting "San Coal" use this year, said the research group in Research Report on China's Comprehensive Management of "San Coal" in 2017 it released on November 30.

The report illustrated main consumption fields of "San Coal": for industrial and civil uses.

Of that, industrially used "San Coal", which accounted for 52% of the total amount, stood at 391 million tonnes so far this year and this sort of "San Coal" was basically utilized in small industrial boilers as well as furnaces.

As the second main purpose of "San Coal", civil sectors used 234 million tonnes, accounting for 31% of the total amount, said the report. Over 90% of "San Coal" is used for winter heating in northern China.

The report also pointed out that the use of "San Coal" either by industries or citizens will be gradually reduced, in line with phase-out of backward industrial capacity and acceleration of clean heating in northern China.
